So, presumably, in the general case, JAVAHOME would be d:\j2sdk1.4.1, because TomCat would find the compiler needed for JSPs.
In the particular case of an installation that was already compiled, either j2sdk or j2re would work. And just to add to it, consider what happens when you upgrade. Every reference; server, IDE, whatever; to drive:\..\jxxVersion has to be changed, it takes a while, and if you miss one you're broken. While we generally develop in 1.4.2, we sometimes have need to for previous versions. Further, it won't be too long until there's 1.4.3 or 1.5. To reduce upgrade, and downgrade, difficulties, we use a generic directory, c:\java, and all appropriate environment variables and IDE settings, etc. refer to it. We install j2sdk into it's default directory and add a file named j2sdkWhateverVersion.bat. The batch file deletes all files in c:\java and copies it's own directory to c:\java. So changing versions becomes: C:> \j2sdkWhateverVersion\j2sdkWhateverVersion.bat (rather than use a standard named batch file, such as switchJava.bat, we use one with the version name, so when we look in C:\java we see a file with the current version name.) -----Original Message----- From: Thilo Krawietz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, July 16, 2004 04:05 To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Re: Where is the Real JAVAHOME? sorry, i made an error: of course you may compile source only with the j2sdk NOT with the jre! s*** happens :-) >Hello! > >I'm confused...
